beach Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Here's what I'm thinking and wanted to run it by the Family and get your input....I want people to put together a 3 or 4 minute high action video with music and Rev flying, you know with dive stops and fast action team flying and just build a really cool FAST ACTION video and then have say 3 judges of my choice decide who takes first, second, and third , then award say a custom B-Pro to the winner or maybe even some cash but make it a real cool prize for the winners..... Then use some of the cuts in the new up coming store demo DVD which is sent out world wide and yes you will get credit for the video and your stuff will be seen world wide, plus it's been a while since we played and I gave away a anything. So I'm perfectly clear it's got to be Revolution products not some homemade stuff and it's got to be attention getting footage and Revolution has your permission to use the clips..... So are you guys game cause I know you all have some really cool video clips...... Ben Editor's note, clarified guidelines: All video submissions for this contest should be a maximum of 10 minutes in length, this makes it attainable for everyone, and it will assure "the best shots" are used. All video submissions should also be uploaded to Vimeo or YouTube, otherwise the judges will not be able to review them (geographical limitations).(YouTube allows you to set a "private - viewable only with direct URL" option during upload) MOV (quicktime) format is ideal, if at all possible, it's most versatile for commercial editing down the road. Videos should be retained in their original, highest resolution and frame rate for Revolution use. The full size version of your video should be accessible to Rev by data DVD or CD mailing. Uploaded videos should be at a minimum resolution of 1280(x720 or whatever). All submissions may be used by Rev, although the winners will receive prizes. DEADLINE is December 10th, 2011.

[email protected] Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Wow, it's like you read my mind - I needed a definitive reason to go out and buy a video camera (camera that takes video?) Ben, this sounds like an amazing idea! Could the deadline for the contest entries be the end of November, at the earliest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnfarl Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Ben you have the best ideas. Sounds like fun along the lines of Virtual Freestyle. Maybe you should have the judging done by the family. Avoid controversy. John Maybe do an indoor next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmdq Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 This sounds like a great idea! One question: does it vahe to include team flying or can it be solo only? I would like to try something but i do not have a team around here. When would be the deadline date to present our entries? Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I'm going to go out on a limb for Ben here in clarifying the following items: 1. All videos may be uploaded to YouTube for display here, with the full size video being accessible to Rev by CD mailing. 2. All submissions should be filmed in HD (high def = 1280 or better), since they'll be for DVD release. 3. All submissions may be used by Rev, although the winners will receive prizes. If I'm off on any of this, I'm sure Ben will correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe B Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I have a fun clip with peppy music and while it's a little on the short side, I'll throw it out there to get things started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 John do you live in my head cause bro you always seem to finish the sentence for me..... So as John said thats the game plan utube and a DVD for Revolution and you can make it team or solo or what ever you want cause I just want to give some things away, plus I got some REALLY cool ideas for sweetening the pot on this deal so don't believe this is just going to be for a kite.... I'm figuring to have the Family vote and then go to the 3 guys who have done lots and who are a part of Revolution history, 1. Lee Sedgwick 2. Alan Nagao 3. John B. (unless he submits a video then his vote goes to ME).... 1. All videos may be uploaded to YouTube for display here, with the full size video being accessible to Rev by CD mailing. 2. All submissions should be filmed in HD (high def = 1280 or better), since they'll be for DVD release. 3. All submissions may be used by Rev, although the winners will receive prizes. Deadline is going to be Dec. 10ths so this way I can say it's your Christmas present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Nice, can't wait to see the submissions, happy to help judge. Bring it on guys, show us what you got! One more question Ben, just to clarify... Should the person flying in the video be the prize winner, or is this an *editing* contest too? My feeling is that it should to the flier. Oh, and I assume we'll favoring long clips (1-4 minutes in length) within the video, as opposed to lots of small edited clips, right?

flt101 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Sounds like a great idea, the timing could have been more user friendly for this part of the country when the beaches and parks was still open, I even remember sunshine, now the usual weather is a mix of rain and snow and the beaches are covered with dead fish and driftwood. Not too camera friendly time of the year for something as bright as a Revolution kite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmdq Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Thanks for all the claryficacions May i suggest vimeo instead of youtube? Not only because it has better quality than yt in all aspects, including stereo sound vs mono sound, but also because it will save everyone the CD step as vimeo let you download the original uncompressed file. Just a suggestion of course. Seeing the deadline in december it may let me round up something for this Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a suggestion of course. Seeing the deadline in december it may let me round up something for this Rob I agree with the use of Vimeo. You Tube is still doing screwy things with Warner Music Group music. I just uploaded a video to YouTube and had the sound blocked. This could be a stumbling block. If you spend a lot time putting something together and then find out you run into the old problems fromWMG and Youtube. I don't think you have that problem with Vimeo. I have just uploaded the video there that was rejected for YouTube WMG problems. http://vimeo.com/30983808 John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 This is Ben's show, but I don't think it much matters to him where it's posted, as long as he can get the raw footage afterward. Especially, the music is probably irrelevant, since they'll need to use their own royalty-free or licensed music for the DVD anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Nice video John, I like the framing at 1:26-3:04 in the video... Kite is close enough to really see the logo, color, detail, etc... But not too close! Nice background too. Now if we could only get the SUN to do a 180 on command.

beach Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 John is right post it where ever works for you just so long as we have footage, the prize will go to the flier or the person who puts it together as in team stuff, and your correct on the music thing also John.....

Polo Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hey !! Thank you very much Ben :) And thank you to "Grande Anse" to have asked the question What a wonderful idea Ben, this video contest !! I'm precisely working at this time on the next video for my website which will be used to promote the new versions HVTD (Half-VenTeD (or mid-vented)) and VTD (VenTeD) of the "Revopolo 1.5 printed" REVOLUTION®, manufactured by "Los Hermanos Gonzalez". I hope you will enjoy this new video. See you soon on the Rev forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madquad Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I hope to enjoy that video too Polo. But even more hope to enjoy the new VTD (and i think there will be another video too.......) p.s. say Hello to Grande Anse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beach Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Pete great my friend great.... Also please remember I need a hard copy of all the video's burned to disc and sent to; Revolution Kites 12170 Dearborn Place Poway Ca. 92064 Also cause I know this is all a pain how about we award $25.00 of Rev Bucks for each video disc we get in, just want to sweeten the pot and so you have a reason to give the shop a call and get some new stuff.....

tonet Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Hi Ben! This is an excellent idea! I enjoy it!I'll take part and put some colours with our beloved Revolution kites, tattoo included! It's a joke :-))Best regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben This is the greatest news I've heard in months! I just bought 100 dvd blanks for $20. I'll put 3 minutes of video on each one and send them to you all at once, Instead of the 100 X $25 Rev Bucks just send me the $2500.00 worth of kites.
